HP Spectre 12 X2 hands-on: Surface Pro-like performance without the Surface Pro price.
The new Surface Pro 4 shed ounces and thickness alike in its evolution from the Surface Pro 3, but it wasn’t the only Microsoft hardware to slim down over the past year. A new Microsoft Surface Dock announced for the Surface hardware on Tuesday assumes the form of an unassuming brick—and it’s downright tiny compared to the gargantuan design of previous Surface-as-desktop options, which required you to slide your tablet into a large docking station. The Spectre 12 X2 features a 12-inch, 10-point touch screen, active pen support, and a keyboard that attaches using magnets and even snaps onto the tablet ...

2015 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S review: a boisterous, little hot rod of a sedan.
The Black sheep of the Mercedes-Benz family has arrived and it’s AMG tuned. Followoing the introduction of the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class last year, we now get the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 with more power, more speed, and more thunderous noises emanating from the exhaust. (see photos) If that name sounds a little odd, that’s because, as of the 2016 model year, no longer are the AMG performance-tuned specials badged as Mercedes-Benzes. The new C63 follows in the footsteps of the regular C-Class Coupe revealed earlier this week, and of course, the C63 Saloon, with which it shares much of its DNA.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V is a Track-Ready 640-Hp Beast with the Feel of a Luxury Sedan.
The Cadillac CTS-V was the car that launched the concept of the high-performance Cadillac, and the 2016 (third-generation) model of this super sedan has some big shoes to fill. I had a rendezvous this week with the new Cadillac CTS-V Sedan ($97,985, as tested) at a little place called Road America, a venue chosen for purely exploitative reasons. Combining the athleticism of a supercar with modern automotive design, the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V embodies the contemporary super sedan, and with 640 horsepower it’s engineered to look the part. Set deep in dairy fairyland in Wisconsin, Road America is the world’s greatest ...
